System and method for transmitting signals in vehicles
First Claim
1. An arrangement for transmitting signals in vehicles, the arrangement comprising at least two elements (E1, E2) between which signals are electrically transmitted and which are components of an electrical supply and signal transmission system (EVS) of the vehicle or are units which are assigned to the vehicle, characterized in that one of the elements (E1) is connected to at least one Bluetooth radio module (B1), another element (E2) is connected to at least one Bluetooth radio module (B2), and in that signals are transmitted unidirectionally or bidirectionally between the Bluetooth radio modules (B1) and (B2).

Abstract
The invention relates to a system for unidrectional or bi-directional signal transmission between at least two elements (E1, E2), which constitute components of an electric power supply and signal transmission system (EVS) of vehicles. According to the invention, one of the elements (E1) is connected to at least one Bluetooth radio module (B1) and one of the other elements (B2) is connected to at least one Bluetooth radio module (B2). The unidirectional or bi-directional signal transmission between the elements (E1) and (E2) and to the Bluetooth radio modules (B1, B2) takes place via an electric cable, but is wireless between the Bluetooth radio modules (B1, B2). Several elements (E1, E2) that are connected to Bluetooth radio modules (B1, B2) can be combined to form a Bluetooth pico-network. The Bluetooth radio modules (B1, B2) permit bi-directional signal transmission. A maximum of eight Bluetooth radio modules (B1, B2) can transmit signals to each other in a Bluetooth pico-network.

10. A method for transmitting signals between at least two elements (E1, E2) which are components of an electrical supply and signal transmission system (EVS) of vehicles or units which are assigned to the vehicle, characterized in that the signal is transmitted from the element (E1) to the Bluetooth radio module (B1) via an electrical line, from the Bluetooth radio module (B1) to the Bluetooth radio module (B2) in a wire-free fashion, from the Bluetooth radio module (B2) to the element (E2) via the electrical line, or in the reverse order from the element (E2) to the Bluetooth radio module (B2) via the electrical line, from the Bluetooth radio module (B2) to the Bluetooth radio module (B1) in a wire-free fashion, and from the Bluetooth radio module (B1) to the element (E1) via the electrical line.
